We check multiple rating platforms for every wine where accessible: Vivino, Wine-Searcher, Wine Spectator, Decanter, James Suckling, Robert Parker Wine Advocate. Only verified scores matching the offered vintage or NV are shown and included.

Ratings are shown from 3.7/5 only when at least one contributing source confirms 10 reviews for this exact vintage or NV. Counts from different platforms are not added together.

5 exact platform scores are weighted equally. Native 99- and 100-point scales are normalized from 50→1 to their own maximum→5 (99→5 or 100→5); display and filtering use one decimal. Aggregator and critic-platform scores can partly overlap.

Description

Altesino Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is a classic Brunello made from 100% Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany. The wine has a ruby-red color that tends toward garnet with age, combining ripe red fruit with the refined, earthy character for which Brunello is known.

On the nose, aromas of violets, wild berries, tobacco, chocolate, vanilla and subtle undergrowth. On the palate it is dry, warm and velvety, with a full structure, well-placed tannins and fresh acidity that keeps the wine elegant.

The wine is traditionally fermented and aged for at least two years in oak barrels, followed by bottle aging. This is a gastronomic Brunello with cellaring potential, ideal with ossobuco, stews, grilled red meat, game and aged cheeses. Serve at 18-20°C.
